@rms1954 why do carnivores eat hotdogs, lunch meats, or chicken nuggets instead of "real" beef, pork, or chicken?

It's simple, some people chose to eat processed foods sometimes and others don't.

I've never heard of plant based vegetables.  Aren't vegetables plant based to begin with?

@rms1954 What am I missing? Why do people purchase meat meat-based food. Just buy real meat.

Maybe you could give an example of what you mean.

If somebody wants to give up meat because they feel guilty about animals being kiled, these alternatives help.  Gardein makes some good plant-based burgers and other products.

@rms1954 You like it.  It is convenient.  Sometimes it is a good meat substitute when your diet has been meat heavy that week.  

 

Why not?  I buy meat and I buy 2 fridges full of veggies and fruits each week, but I still love Beyond Meat Meatballs!  And I don't like to buy mystery meat frozen meatballs from anyone thank you very much!  I'm really picky about meat products.

most plant based food are made to be proteins. Vegetables do not have enough protein or even complete protein.
